Prefixes and Suffixes
Emints, Missouri's answer to KanEd, offers this page of prefixes and suffixes lessons and interactives. Many links are Quia games that can be copied to your own Quia account and then edited as needed. There is also a page of prefixes, suffixes, and Greek Roots lessons and interactives on the same site.


Roots
Vocabulary.com offers root-word lesson plans that are separated into 3 levels of difficulty.There are eight exercises into each session, and they include Interactive Puzzle, Fill-in-the-Blanks, Definition Match, Synonym & Antonym Encounters, Crosswords, Word Finds, True/False and Word Stories. These free interactive vocabulary puzzle and activity sessions use Latin and Greek "roots and cells" to help unlock word meanings. The site also lists several activities to prep for the ACT/SAT.

Word Parts: The Roots of Vocabulary lists many links to activities to study Greek and Latin roots. For each root, there is a list of words that are to be written, defined, illustrated, and applied. (1.Write the word. 2. Define it. 3. Draw it. 4. Answer this question.) This would be great for making flashcards! After the questions, there are quiz questions that could be used to reinforce the vocabulary. I'd use the questions as prompts for reinforcent. They could be typed into Quia or used for a classroom game. Do note the copyright.

It's Greek to Me! is an interactive game on the Scholastic website. It offers two levels and there are rounds on each level. It's good for exposing students to the influence the Greek vocabulary has had on our language.

Here's a Quia game that touches on the roots spect, form, port, tract, and dict. Of course, you can create your own games and share them with each other on Quia's network.bookworm.gif
